I-Tengirri iyi-catamaran yamandla engamamitha angu-46 (14m) eyaklanywa futhi yakhiwa e-Australia ngo-2004. Ngokushesha ngemva kwalokho, ngo-April 2005, u-Tengirri waqala ukusebenza nge-surf charter e-Sumatra's Mentawai Islands nangale kwayo. Kusukela lapho, uye waletha abatshuzi abavela kuzo zonke izizinda zokuphila, emagagasini empilo yabo.
Komunye wamashadi aqine, ashesha kakhulu, naphephe kakhulu e-Indonesia, uzobe useza kahle ekuseni ngemva kokufika kwakho e-Padang. U-Tengirri uhamba kakhulu ebusuku ngesikhathi ulele, ngakho uvuka endaweni entsha ekuseni. Uma sekushiwo lokho, uma izimo zishintsha ungakwazi ukuphinde uthole indawo entsha ngokushesha, ikakhulukazi ngosizo lwethenda eyodwa kulawa amabili. Isikebhe sokuqala siyi-1m 4.5HP kanti eyesibili yisikebhe se-Polycraft 40meter esine-Yamaha 2hp. Ukaputeni onesipiliyoni kanye nethimba bazokusa kumagagasi amahle kakhulu, angaminyene kakhulu kuye ngokukhukhumala kwamanje kanye nezimo zezulu. Uma ungantweza surf awubi nesithukuthezi ngeminye imisebenzi yokudoba, i-snorkeling noma ukuhlola isiqhingi. Ngisho noma ungenzi lutho, uzipholele ngesitayela futhi ujabulela izindawo zikanokusho zesikebhe. Kukhona indawo yokudlela yasendlini evulekile nendawo yokudlela ene-TV yesikrini esiyisicaba, umtapo wezincwadi omuhle wama-DVD ongabukwa kanye ne-chess, amakhadi, i-scrabble, ama-dominoes, nezinhlobonhlobo zemidlalo yebhodi edumile. Okokufunda kunomtapo wezincwadi omkhulu onamanoveli akamuva, ukufundwa kokufundisa nomagazini.
Nge-Tengirri, udinga abantu abangu-6 ukuze uqinisekise i-charter futhi inani eliphakeme lezivakashi ngu-8. Izindawo zokuhlala ezinethezekile ezine-air conditioner zilala kufika ku-8 emakamelweni angu-6 ahlukene: amagumbi okulala angu-2 anombhede ophindwe kabili ngalinye; Amakhabethe ama-2 anemibhede emi-2 ngakunye; kanye namakhabethe angu-2 anombhede owodwa owodwa kwelinye. Uma unaba-1 kuphela ebhodini wonke umuntu uthola ikhabethe lakhe. I-Tengirri ilungele iqembu elizimele noma izihambeli ezimbalwa ezijabulele ukwabelana nge-adventure.
I-Tengirri inikwa amandla izinjini ezingama-430HP Cummins futhi ishaya ngesivinini esikhulu ngamafindo angu-22. Nokho, uzinzile futhi uhamba ngamafindo angu-15-17. Ama-Catamaran aziwa kakhulu ngesakhiwo sawo esibanzi futhi i-Tengirri nayo ihlukile. Unezindawo ezinkulu ezi-3 zedekhi yangaphandle (idekhi engemuva-phansi, ideski elingemuva, nangaphambili kwesikebhe) ezimbozwe ngokuphelele elangeni. Amapulatifomu alungele ukuphumula endaweni ebabazekayo ye-Indian Ocean, ukuthatha izithombe, ukufunda, noma ukuphuza.
I-Tengirri ayinqamuki lapho kuziwa ekudleni. Okokuqala, usuku lonke lwansuku zonke alunamkhawulo ngokwesifiso sakho, zonke izinhlobo zesithelo esisha, itiye, ikhofi, amasoda, ijusi, namanzi. Okunye ukudla okulula kufaka phakathi ama-chips, amabha kashokoledi nokunye. Amabhokisi angama-20 kabhiya we-Bintang afakiwe enanini lephakheji. Kukhona nebha ehlome ngokuphelele.
Unesidlo sasekuseni esisheshayo nesilula sokudla okusanhlamvu, okuthosiwe, ojeli nokunye okusatshalaliswa okuwukuziphakela wena. Kamuva ekuseni umpheki uzolungisa isidlo sasekuseni “esishisayo” njengamakhekhe, ama-omelets noma ama-jaffles futhi udla ngokugculiseke esiswini sakho. Isidlo sasemini esivamile sihlanganisa amasemishi amasha esaladi e-ham, ama-noodle, ama-taco, nama-jaffles. Ukudla kwakusihlwa kuyisidlo esikhulu sosuku. Izinhlanzi ezibanjwa nsuku zonke ziyalungiswa futhi ziphakwe. Okunye okukhethwa kukho kufaka i-spaghetti, inkukhu ye-BBQ, inyama yenkomo ye-curry, i-lasagna, i-burritos kanye nemifino ethosiwe. Izidlo zihambisana nemifino, irayisi kanye nesaladi esisha. Ngokuvamile ukudla “yikho konke-ongakudla” futhi kuvame ukuba nezinsalela eziningi. Azikho izikhathi zokudla ezimisiwe. Udla uma ulambile futhi ngokohlelo lwakho lokuntweza.
Kufakwe mahhala isevisi yezithombe/ividiyo engaphakathi. Iqembu lithwebula kokubili izithombe nevidiyo yamagagasi akho nezinhlanzi ozibambayo. Letha i-USB flash drive yakho, futhi bazokuphosela ividiyo ehleliwe nezithombe zakho. Uthola ukusetshenziswa mahhala kwazo zonke izinto ezisemkhunjini, okufaka phakathi isikebhe sokukungenisa nokuphuma kulayini noma ukudubula izithombe, ukudoba kanye nemishini yokushushuluza.
